Greetings all
I thought I'd give myself a break from school work to put another post up as I am a top procrastinator and I feel I owe you a little more frequency in my posts, so here we are.
Other than being slightly disappointed that I won't be able to go up to my Dad's and see my half-sister next Friday-Sunday, I have still had an absolutely wonderful weekend. George was here from about 1pm on Saturday to 5pm today, and my brother Alex (who lives in Cornwall) decided to come up and visit us for a few days :D So he arrived early today and after George had a minor panic about what my brother would think of him, they got on fine and my brother says George seems great. SO THERE, GEORGE. I WIN ;)
Today also happens to be 4 months since George and I got together, so we celebrated that with a weekend of cuddles, movies, and on Saturday night I made George dinner.We didn't really end up doing much or being particularly romantic, but it was actually a lovely way of celebrating 4 very happy months together, and I really enjoyed our weekend.
And now I am in bed at 9.40pm (yeah, I know I'm a rubbish teenager) after a good evening with my mum and Alex. My other brother Laurie did phone, but the phone ran out of battery half way through our conversation and he hasn't called back :/ So that sucked a bit. Before it cut out he did tell me a little story from our childhood, which was quite funny to hear given I've been baking a lot lately. Apparently, when I was around 2 or 3 years old Laurie would often be in the kitchen baking or cooking something (he would have been 16/17ish) and he would sit me up on a stool beside him so we could be baking together. Obviously I can't remember any of it, but it sounds really sweet and I love the idea of it. So now next time I bake something I'll probably have that image in the back of my mind and know that although we can't bake together any more, we used to in a silly kind of way.
We're all feeling quite proud of Laurie lately... Since 2012, there have been quite a few articles and interviews with my brother in New York newspapers and websites, but lately he has made it back home in print with an article in The Chronicle & Echo, and several other newpapers which I regretfully can't remember. This is the Chronicle and Echo article: http://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/business/local-businesses/former-northampton-college-student-named-one-of-new-york-s-best-chefs-1-4775833; and this is another from an American website: http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2012/09/we-chat-with-laurie-jon-moran-of-le-bernardin-interview.html (although there is a slight mistake, as I can personally confirm that mum made Laurie cakes rather than 'foams' for his birthday :P). It may be interesting to you or it may not, but I am very proud to say that my brother Laurie, who used to read me bed time stories and sit my 2 year old self next to him while he baked, has now been named one of New York's best chefs, so I simply cannot resist putting those articles in here. So check them out if you are interested :)
It's hit 10pm so I feel it is probably an acceptable time for a 17 year old to go to sleep, thus I shall say goodnight, and I hope you had a wonderful weekend too.
Also I shall wish my dear Suffolk friend Sammykins a Happy Birthday :)
I'll try to write again soon.
G'night.

Happy 4 months George, I love you. <3
